You’ll Laugh Out Loud At These Hilarious Camping Photos

Crazy adventures happen at campgrounds all over the country and the rest of the world. Take a look at the following pictures and see just how hilarious camping can get. From amazingly repurposed objects to funny shenanigans with friends, these camping photos really sum up the experience of getting away from your everyday life and having some fun. They just may inspire you to get out and have some adventures of your own!

Don’t Go Poking Around

Camping, just like other ways of exploring nature, must be done with a certain respect for one’s surroundings. Otherwise, you can find yourself in a rather…spiky situation, like this young man. We’re sure that he was in pain for quite a few days afterward.

After falling into a group of cacti, he had to get help from the local fire department, who don’t seem sure about how to address the issue. They will definitely need some heavy duty gloves just remove these things from him.

Just Sanitize It First

I suppose that this is a decent idea if you sanitize the uh, equipment properly beforehand. There is no way you want to use this thing without giving it a much needed clean. Here you’ve got a toilet repurposed as a combination beer cooler and grill.

They say that necessity is the mother of ingenuity, but are coolers and grills really that expensive? I think you could probably buy a cheap one for next to nothing or you can even borrow one from a friend. No toilet is really necessary.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

Just like Tesla, the singers of the famous song “Signs,” the dozens of campers in this photo don’t have any time for being told what to do by oppressive signs. It seems like the rules have been tossed aside at least momentarily.

At any rate, this sign makes for a great photo opp! Don’t let the man hold you down, campers! You should be able to count where ever you want. This sign here is completely uncalled for as that looks like the perfect land to set up a good tent.

The Conveniences Of Home

What’s one supposed to do when you’re torn between the perks and comforts of home and the call of nature? In this case, it seems like the solution is to plug your window air conditioning unit into a portable generator and enjoy the nice, cool air!

Hey, it’s not any more cheating than “camping” in an RV, is it? These guys just want to enjoy their trip without sleeping in the heat. When you go camping in the summertime, you can wake up in a puddle of sweat. I see no problem with some AC.

Gonna Take A Ride

Sometimes a fun time can get a bit out of control. A lot of people enjoy camping near lakes where they can enjoy all types of water sports. In this case, someone decided it would be fun to pull an inflatable raft behind a boat for some summer fun.

Unfortunately for one rider, the waves got a little choppy that day. It’s good to see they’re both wearing their life jackets, however! Let’s just hope that they went back to pick her up and didn’t leave her float in the water for the rest of the day.

Now We’re Cooking

Although this rigged mailbox is not much of a solution when it comes to a campfire, it provides a nice, hot cooking surface for hot meals when you’re out in the wilderness, or just as likely in this case, in your backyard.

That’s one way to enjoy a nice, hot dinner! We wonder if they clean it out after they cook on it and use it as a mail box afterwards. If they do, we’d saw that these guys discovered a great use of their mailbox. Absolutely lovely.

Expensive Dryer

And you thought coin laundries were an expensive way to dry your clothes! Even the most expensive coin-operated dryer can’t compare to the price of a Lamborghini being used to anchor a clothesline, however.

At this point, you have to think the owners are just showing off, aren’t they? We usually don’t see such a nice car when out camping. These city slickers didn’t care what they were yearning for nature.

Porta-Potty

One of the most annoying things about camping is simply having to find a place to relieve yourself. Portable toilets are generally not the cleanest places in the world, after all. So you find yourself looking for other means.

Well, this camper found a great way to allow for a cleaner restroom experience, although maybe a shower curtain would help with the privacy element. That said, I would hate to drive behind these guys on the road. It must absolutely stink.

Staying Warm

While some would say that dogs, cats, and other furry mammals have built-in protection against the elements, some pet owners like to go the extra mile for the comfort of their fur babies and they don’t care how ridiculous their animals look.

That’s definitely the case with this spoiled pooch, who has a nicer jacket on than many humans own! I’m sure he feels good and far from his wolf ancestors. They would all be looking from the trees and laughing at him right now.

Bike Life

People are often pretty passionate about cycling. Today bikes are more popular then they’ve ever been. This guy is obviously one of those folks. In this photo, he’s shown cuddling up to his bike to keep warm in the winter. Just a man and his faithful bike.

Meanwhile, a woman lays outside his tent, fending for herself against the wild and unforgiving elements. Sure, keep your bike safe from the elements, but do you really need to cuddle with it? Take the girl, but leave the bike here.

Not Scared Of Heights

You see this photo, and you have to wonder, weren’t there any other suitable trees for hammocks nearby? Couldn’t they find another tree. This is a no-win situation for everyone. Someone is going to fall over and cause some kind of chain reaction.

The person on the bottom will have a lot of people falling upon him through the night. I suppose this setup is okay if you’re not scared of heights, particularly because the higher hammocks are enclosed, but how do they get up and down?

Fast Getaway

Most people expect to get a little dirty when they spend a weekend camping, but they probably don’t expect something like this to happen. This probably resulted in a dirty situation for everyone. Imagine having to clean that dirt off your tent.

In this case, it looks like a particularly inconsiderate driver decided to rev up and speed away from the tents, spraying everyone behind them with mud. Not very nice! I’d keep driving and wouldn’t look back. In that situation, the best you can do is get out of there quick.

Not Exactly Roughing It

Apparently, this guy is under the assumption that it’s considered camping as long as you’re inside of a tent. However, you have to wonder whether he needs a little schooling on the meaning of having a positive work-life balance.

Fortunately for this guy, these days you can do everything he was probably doing in this photo on your smartphone. This should be a message for everyone that they shouldn’t bring their mobile phone with them when they go camping. They should embrace nature.

A Friendly Visitor

Nature is full of animals and when you go camping you are in their world and you better respect them. Horses are generally very friendly creatures, but that doesn’t mean you want one inside your tent. This inquisitive horse is probably giving someone quite the scare.

Their hooves are heavy and pack quite the punch when they mean to. Hopefully, that’s not the case, and all of the people are out of the tent as this picture is taken. This horse looks like he is pretty pissed off about something.

Shhhh…It’s A Secret

“Okay, we’ll tell you about the location of the super-duper, top-secret campground, but you can’t tell anybody, alright? You have to promise not to say anything, or else before you know it, everyone will know where it is.

They’ll even put a sign up revealing the secret and everything!” This campsite will soon be a small town thanks to this sign. They’ll have a small store there, some houses and even a parking lot in no time at all. Thanks, random person for putting this sign up.

Do It Yourself

The do-it-yourself community has earned a reputation for ingenuity and creativeness, but this particular example of the DIY ethos may be lacking a bit in the safety department. Just take a second and really look at the piece of madness before you.

Let’s hope that, at the very least, there isn’t anyone actually in the camper above while the truck is in motion. It looks like the camper could fall off at any time. One has to question how one would even get up to that camper. There is absolutely no ladder.

Bursting At The Seams

These campers certainly thought of everything, and preparedness is a big part of camping. There appears to be a problem here, however. The camper in question seems to have bought a king-sized air mattress for a twin-sized tent.

That’s why you measure the tent before you buy the air mattress, folks! They are going to in for a very uncomfortable sleep. Let’s be honest, that tent will never be the same after having that bed inside.

Should Have Left It At Home

Here’s just another reason why cell phones and camping don’t mix. Not only do they distract you from the whole point of going camping, which is to get in touch with nature, but also things like this can happen.

One submerged iPhone later, and this camper has more than just a wet seat to worry about. While some of us would think of the cell phone as completely wasted. I think with a bag of rice that phone can be completely saved in no time at all.

One-Stop S’mores Station

S’mores are the unofficial snack of camping, which has led many to try to develop the perfect way to prepare the delicious campfire treat. This person may have nailed it with his rake method. Let’s just hope the paint from the rake doesn’t come off on the food.

Not only will the marshmallows get toasty, but the graham crackers and chocolate will be nice and warm, too! Just looking at those juicy treats makes me want to go camping. They look absolutely wonderful.

Room For One More?

Some people follow the rules as they are laid out on the box, and others seem to consider such rules to be merely suggestions. You can bet which category the owners of these feet belong to. Some people have much cleaner feet than the other ones.

Why assume that a tent can really only hold two people, after all? It’s hard not to feel bad for the person on the bottom. His legs are just laying there kind of motionless. We hope he is okay.

That’s One Way To Do It

With all these campers who have made their own grills out of strange objects, you have to wonder whether it’s really that hard to find a simple grill at the store. This is by far one of the worst DYI grills. Imagine all the people who have touched that cart.

Imagine all the bacteria and slimes that have touched the cart. What if a homless person was pushing around that particular cart. That said, this de-wheeled shopping cart may do the job, but it’s probably not the safest possible solution, too.

Prank Time

Pranks are almost as much a part of camping as marshmallows and ghost stories. In this case, one camper seems to have fallen asleep before the others and either he’s a very deep sleeper, or he had a few adult beverages beforehand.

In any case, his friends certainly had a good time giving him a makeover! From the looks of him, we’re almost sure that he looks better now than he ever has before. Look at his opened mouth expression.

Not The Best Spot

This ambitious camper decided that he would get really close to the water for his camping trip. Unfortunately, he forgot that the tides shift the shoreline overnight, and now he’s woken up to quite a big problem.

You have to wonder how he was able to get out of that sticky situation! If they don’t hurry up and move that camper out of the tide, they might end up having sharks and fish swimming inside. You definitely don’t want to sleep with those critters.

Soggy Spot

Unlike the “No Camping” sign earlier, this sign is probably one that people will be happy to obey. After all, not many people want to pitch a tent in a foot of muddy water. It would surely make for a rough camping trip to remember.

You have to wonder what the person who reserved the spot is thinking now? And what about the tent in the background? They must have been really determined to camp that weekend. I’d say they are taking quite the risk.

Next Time, Buy A Hammock

Apparently, this particular camper did not have a tent, did not want to sleep on the ground, and made do with what was available to him. That said, he looked like he slept pretty comfortably on that cooler. He’s definitely out.

You have to think that sleeping sitting up would have been better than using a cooler as a bridge between two flimsy foldout chairs, however. Maybe he had a fight with his wife and he was cast out of the tent and made to sleep on the cooler for the night.

Better Than A Kite

As kids, we all struggled to get our kites to fly the way that they do in the commercials or movies. However, the owner of this tent has found out the hard way that with the right amount of wind, a tent can fly even better than a kite would!

Next time, these campers will surely stake their tent into the ground appropriately. We hope that nobody was in that tent when it took to the sky. Next thing we know, the person inside will wake up in a very magical land far away from our world.

That’s The Attitude

Music festivals and camping go together like music festivals and awful weather. At Glastonbury, these unfortunate campers were not prepared for the amount of water they’d deal with, but at least one festival attendee is not letting it ruin his experience.

That’s the kind of attitude we like to see! This guy got his tent floored and probably lost a lot of important things but he is enjoying his day. Certainly, this man will never forget the fun he had on that day anytime soon.

What An Invention

Boats are great for fishing and relaxing, but they don’t offer the most comfort when trying to avoid a sunburn or eat your lunch comfortably. Enter this man’s invention: the Picnic Boat! We don’t think we’ve ever seen anything better than this.

If you look closely, the man has even attached a motor to it and named his creation “Picnic Launch.” Nobody is going to have a picnic in better style. These guys are likely retired, but they are looking like they are living the life.

Oh, The Irony

Judging by the facial expression of the father and the placement of the “World’s Best Father” mug, this photo was planned and supposed to be humorous. For some this look horrifying and that it would even be in bad taste. That said, it’s a joke.

That’s fortunate since it obviously wouldn’t be a great idea to allow a toddler to sit on the grill and do the cooking over hot charcoal rocks. That could land any average father in a lot of hot water.

The Porcelain Throne

For the sensible camper that wants the comforts of home without giving up the authenticity of nature, we have the Rock-o-Potty.

This camper took the time to find perfectly sized rocks for the creation of a toilet that may not be super comfortable but is a step up from squatting down in the woods.

Doggie Vacation

You know, dogs get stressed out and need a vacation sometimes, too. Therefore, this dog decided that he could occupy his owner’s hammock for a little while.

Too bad his owner is interrupting his snooze with that pesky camera! He looks like he wants to tell his owner to wait for a turn.

It’s A Mini

You have to respect someone who attempts to downsize a little bit in life. However, this biker may have taken things a little bit too far.

I suppose that a tent that you can only fit your head in will keep the bugs from biting or the morning light from waking you up, but wouldn’t a sleeping bag have fit on this person’s Harley, too?

Oops Pow, Surprise!

This is one of those photos that you can’t imagine ending very well.

Perhaps the African savannah was not the best place to pitch a tent, especially if you’re going to leisurely spend your afternoon reading while being unaware of your surroundings (and five feet from your rifle, to boot).

A Little Childish

Alright, these custom roasting sticks are pretty funny at first sight, but isn’t this a little bit childish? You have to wonder whether any kids are also around the campfire and seeing these roasting sticks get used.

Oh, never mind. This kind of humor definitely involves pre-teens.

Yes, It Is

Not only did the owners of this tent erect their portable home properly, but they also obviously did it with a sense of humor. We get it, very funny…you “pitched a tent.”

You have to wonder whether the owners of this tent know the people from before with the roasting sticks? They’d probably be great friends.

What A Destination

A memorable name is an important part of any location, whether it’s a business or even a campsite. However, you have to think that the name “Sandy Balls” probably leads to more juvenile jokes than the owners were expecting.

Still, it’s probably good for business. Have they thought about making t-shirts?

Time To Go Home

I don’t care how much you love camping; when you come back to your campsite and see this, it’s time to head back home.

These hungry bears may be happy for now, but once they’ve eaten the food, they’ll be on the hunt for more. At that point, you want to be far, far away.

Zipper Shortage?

The zipper is such an integral part of camping that it’s hard not to associate that zipping sound with the beginning of another day in the wilderness.

In this case, however, the maker of this tent decided against the tried-and-true zipper, with what may have been unintended consequences as a result.

Time To Escape

It’s not always the best idea to bring your cats camping. They often won’t be content to stay in a boring tent, especially with the sounds of nature and all those tasty birds just outside.

This particular cat has had it and is doing its best to free itself into the wild.
